If you are not staying at the Belmond, head to Lido La Pigna, Tao Beach Club or Lido Caravella.
There are many tour companies that offer excursions to Mt. Etna to see the historic lava flows, go hiking, visit the ski resort, and learn about the unique history and topography.
Isola Bella and Grotta Azzurra are two famous landmarks, accessible by boat. We hear you can go scuba diving in the grotto, but we will leave that one to you. We will be taking boat tours of these Taormina landmarks on Wednesday, but again, if you miss it, try to arrange a tour for another day!
